78: Upcycling into a Fire Engine Box

My son Leon is totally obsessed with fire engines so I decided to upcycle an old wooden MDF toy box that my brother and I used when we were children. I sanded it, primed it and painted it fire engine red (of course). I found a brilliant website called Smartwalls that create personalised vinyl fire engine stickers so I ordered one and stuck it on the front of the box. Unfortunately part of the red paint came off when I did this and you can now see the existing blue colour that was underneath, but I quite like the look of it now
